Question #1. From this table, can you derive the "story of the election"?
Question #2. If "Moral Values" translates well to "evangelical", and these people were "targetted", why did 18% of them vote for Kerry?

1) More people bought into the "Bush will protect us from terrorism" meme and the vague concept of "morality" (which IS a code word for religion and the pro-life movement, generally speaking) than anything else. I feel sorry for those people.
2) Not everyone who is religious is a crackpot.
The one comfort I'm drawing is from reports that if you single out the 18-29 vote in each state, Kerry wins 375-163 and takes almost everything in the eastern half of the US (excepting South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and (surprisingly) Maine). Maybe there's hope for the future.
